Claude Mombo Baros Brings Epic Saga KONGO to U.S. Audiences

The novel, written by French-Congolese author Claude Mombo Baros and translated by Eduardo Jiménez, follows three distinct destinies across different eras. In the ancient world, an ingenious thinker named Zoba and a young commander named Kengi struggle against the collapse of their civilization. Centuries later, a student named Louis embarks on a journey from Africa to France and finally the United States, only to discover that his life is tethered to a history he is just beginning to understand.

Baros, who transitioned to literature after a career in finance and risk management, crafted the saga to explore how inherited memories and cultural legacies shape individual identity. The audiobook format serves as a deliberate choice for the author, who believes that hearing the rhythmic voices of his characters offers a deeper dimension to the experience of exile and ambition. Alongside the audiobook, Solviseo Éditions has released paperback and eBook versions to accommodate readers across multiple formats.
